The city of Palm Springs hosts Modernism Week twice a year — February is the main show with October hosting a scaled down version. This year the event is celebrating 20 years of bringing us modernism in the desert.

Modernism Week 2025 is February 13-23rd and tickets are now available for purchase.

Home tours at Modernism Week in Palm Springs feature homes like this one with a folded plate roof.

We have been numerous times to Modernism Week both in February and October and it is one of our favorite modern events. The tours give you access to some of the most iconic midcentury homes and if you want to take a deep dive, the lectures offered by experts in their area do just that. And of course there are also the cocktail parties!

We have curated a list that will help you plan your week of where to stay, eat, drink as well as what to do and where to shop when you are finished with the tours.
